Im getting bored of playing with (not to mention paining) my all infantry guard list.  It was designed with help from dakkites to be a powerful drop troop list and it works very well.  However i am a fluff fiend at heart and themed armies are my thing so i decided to make an army based on my kill-team.  It will use marine rules but appear to be a high tech renegade guard force.  I'm building it for fun but would like some opinions on whether it would be able to stand up in a fight, remembering that i play against fairly average gamers in a non-tournemant environment.

this is the first draft (indeed it is the first list i have ever written with the most recent marine codex)
